Some of the deconstruction companies (like Bahm Demolition that was listed above) try to salvage/reclaim as much material as possible from their demolition projects. Then, they of course sale it to make a profit. Get idea instead of putting everything in the landfill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30711036.post-82090482648370959612007-03-02T08:41:00.000-08:002007-03-02T08:41:00.000-08:00Rockport - It just means they're selling off as ma...Rockport - It just means they're selling off as many of a house's reusable fixtures before knocking it down.

I love the Habitat for Humanity ReStores too.<br /><br />Monica - I know, we're getting such a great deal on everything. This guy is the home owner and he's just selling everything off himself, so I don't think he's trying for as much as he could be getting. The windows and doors would cost a mint at some of the salvage stores around here. His prices also seem to be coming down the closer it gets to the demolition date (we got the cabinet and mantle for a third of what he'd asked for it on our first trip there).<br /><br />Carla - It is sad to see, but thankfully they aren't putting in condos. They apparently tried to save the house but there was too much wrong with it structurally. <br /><br />Chelee - A little sun definitely helps ward off the winter blahs! <br /><br />Lu - It sounds like you speak from experience! ;)<br />My in-laws are British and they have a house full of antiques with wonderful stories attached to them, I love it.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034794313638177847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30711036.post-66419710313077510162007-01-03T09:33:00.000-08:002007-01-03T09:33:00.000-08:00Look out!

Seriously, what great finds - I think you are definitely helping to save the history by buying/taking these items. I also have antique items and I feel much the same. We have a very very old dining room set and we always say, "if this table could talk, the stories it could tell us". The leaded glass cabinet is wonderful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30711036.post-20313683232667923092007-01-03T09:28:00.000-08:002007-01-03T09:28:00.000-08:00We had some sun yesterday as well.

I would think that it would be sad as well to go to sales with a story like the one you mentioned. Yippie for saving some of it.<br />cheers!Michelle Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334530069139984829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30711036.post-35842612166722026322007-01-03T08:19:00.000-08:002007-01-03T08:19:00.000-08:00I'm so jealous you got to go to a demolition sale....I'm so jealous you got to go to a demolition sale. It looks like you got some fabulous finds. Those old houses have some real treasures. I love the cabinet with the leaded windows. It's sad about the house though. I hate to hear about them tearing up those old houses. I suppose some developer wants to build condos.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08423696800295940382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30711036.post-18649312940011785972007-01-03T07:01:00.000-08:002007-01-03T07:01:00.000-08:00Great stove!

I have some of those and really like them---wish I had more of them. They hold up well and are multi use that's for sure. When we lived in Dallas/Ft worth Texas---there was lots more to get cheap even on trash day. Guess people in the country scavange a bit more still and know what those windows are worth :-)Dancingfarmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02542161200214992918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30711036.post-41199500103634646872007-01-03T06:36:00.000-08:002007-01-03T06:36:00.000-08:00{blogger seems to be freaking out on me this morni...{blogger seems to be freaking out on me this morning, so if you get a blank e-mail, this is the reason, it claimed I had posted something and was waiting your apporval}<br /><br />I love deconstruction companies.
